Antenatal screening is the best way to detect certain illnesses or other possible problems such as anaemia or hypothyroidism. If any health problems are picked up by these tests, the problem can often be treated during pregnancy or immediately post birth. An antenatal panel with TORCH includes the following tests:
• Complete Haemogram (CBC)
• VDRL (Syphilis Detection Tests)
• Australia Antigen (AARD)
• HbsAg
• Torch Panel
• Urine R/M
An antenatal panel with TORCH provides useful information from the time pregnancy is first considered through the initial days of the newborn's life. Tests included in the panel are performed at specified times throughout the pregnancy. Others are ordered as needed to detect and address conditions or problems that arise during pregnancy. The purpose of these tests is to screen for and diagnose any existing problems that may affect the mother's or baby's health, identify and address problems as they arise, and assess the risk of a baby having a chromosomal or genetic abnormality.
